The issue is not whether they are dangerous but whether we have learned
how to handle them safely. One thing is clear, nuclear power stations
are the most robust structures we have in Britain and in one famous
experiment an aircraft flown into such a structure in the USA at 50Omph
evaporated; the structure remained substantially intact. It is true
that we do not know the effect of a fully-fuelled jumbo, flying into a
nuclear power station but I have heard it said that terrorists would
cause much greater devastation if they guided their aircraft into a
football stadium on a Saturday afternoon. |
